Headache caused by svn svn migration

It's no longer possible to checkout old-ish revisions of cvs2svn:

$ svn co http://cvs2svn.tigris.org/svn/cvs2svn/trunk@4998
[...]
A    trunk/dist.sh
A    trunk/Makefile
A    trunk/cvs2bzr-example.options
 U   trunk
svn: warning: Error handling externals definition for 'trunk/svntest':
svn: warning: Server sent unexpected return value (403 Forbidden) in
response to OPTIONS request for
'http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/trunk/subversion/tests/cmdline/svntest'
Checked out revision 4998.

I know this isn't your fault; I gather it's because svn's svn repo
moved and they broke the old URLs when they migrated.  ;-(  (I bet
they also broke all their old revision numbers by moving into apache's
mega-repo, which is a very surprising change!)

Any good suggestions for a workaround?  I need to do this because I
have been neglecting cvs2hg for a while, and I'm trying to catch up
with recent changes in cvs2svn.  But I want to do it in reasonable
increments, not in one huge update-and-merge.  But if I can't update
to old-ish revs of cvs2svn, I don't know how to do this!

Thanks --

Greg
